lyrics

Go on wayward child
make your time well spent
without reason telling you
when it's time to quit
It's hard enough to say goodbye
to now what's lost
still far behind
disguised as illusions telling only lies
what's in for me this time?
guess I'll hold my high
to the skies

When the vanishing swept right under me
Saw mountains on the backs of birds who would agree
it's not easy to make the climb
where alone you've been just wondering
how this came afloat and what's the point of it
to watch flowers grow
and feel wind blow
well I left my heart at home
many years ago

I tear down mountains I've only been
and pull the streams right out of them to see it through
before me you will wait
and tired eyes will awake
before the crows begin to take

Now how many roads
have I left to go ?
see I'm tired of waiting here
for that light to show
